Add the flour and black pepper, then stir well. Pour in the chicken broth and milk at the same time, and cook until the sauce thickens. Add the mushroom mixture to the chopped chicken.
Mix the Swiss cheese and lemon zest into the pasta mixture, then transfer everything into a rectangular Pyrex baking dish.
